Default Intro (newbie)
Hey guys. After about a month of looking...taking the safety class to get my endorsement..I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first HD. I got the '14 Breakout in vivid black. I owned a sport bike in my early 20's (Yamaha FZR1000) and that toy lasted about 2 years. driving it taught me several lessons...first and foremost...I don't need to ever go that fast. When I knew I was in the market for a bike I knew that a cruiser was the only way I'd go. I had looked at HD several years ago. I almost got serious about it then...but financially I wasn't in the market. I remember seeing the Rocker at a dealership and really liked it. As well as a Wide Glide. Anyway...fast forward to now. My list of requirements for the bike was pretty slim...I wanted an aggressive looking bike...fat rear end...with lots of black and chrome. When I walked into the local dealership and saw the Breakout sitting there I knew I was done looking.

So far the only thing I have done was added the Daymaker headlight. Exhaust will be done soon. I hope LOL

Anyway...enough of the BS...here are some pics!

Sean
